You've found a great set of bloopers, and want to download them for future screenings. If you change the "Y" in the youtube.com address to "3," 3outube provides links for downloading that video in MP4 or FLV formats.

That's all there is to it, really—any YouTube video you want to download, just click on the YouTube logo in the lower-right corner of an embedded clip to get to the main YouTube page, then change the "Y" in YouTube.com to "3." Neat stuff, and it worked on all five of the test clips I sent its way.

Update: As our commenters point out, another URL-replacement service, KickYouTube, offers even more formats and features. If Kick goes down, or doesn't work for a certain video, though, having 3outube handy is a good thing—and 75 percent more efficient, in a very narrow way.
